Hello and merry Christmas everybody!
I installed Fedora 20 x64 (KDE) yesterday and started running into a problem today:
After installing the distro on my Core2Duo machine, Apper notified me that some 1000+ updates where available, so I let Apper update them. Since Apper seemed to hang at 10% of downloading the updates, I cancelled the process by clicking the stop button in the KDE notification and ran
in a terminal instead, because yum usually worked fine for me.
Apparently just in this moment, Apper decided to finally continue and was about to install "libgcc" right when I killed the Apper process on the console with "kill", since clicking the stop button didn't work.
Yum completed the update process anyways and installed all the updates, but complained about libgcc already being installed and advised me to run
Code:
sudo yum-complete-transaction
.
Running that command lead to yum reporting a list of all the packages it just updated with the notion that "this package is already installed and the latest version", until it hit the libgcc package which it marked for update and tried to update, but failed with the following error (some parts are in German, but you get the picture):
Code:

Fehler-Zusammenfassung
----------------------
So, basically it said that libgcc should be updated, but won't update it because it's already the lastest version. Sounds to me like my killing Apper right when it installed libgcc kinda broke the whole thing.
I tried reinstalling libgcc with "yum reinstall libgcc", but it complained about a protected multilib version like this:
Code:
sudo yum reinstall libgcc

Fehler: Multilib version problems found. This often means that the root
cause is something else and multilib version checking is just
pointing out that there is a problem. Eg.:
1. You have an upgrade for libgcc which is missing some
dependency that another package requires. Yum is trying to
solve this by installing an older version of libgcc of the
different architecture. If you exclude the bad architecture
yum will tell you what the root cause is (which package
requires what). You can try redoing the upgrade with
--exclude libgcc.otherarch ... this should give you an error
message showing the root cause of the problem.
2. You have multiple architectures of libgcc installed, but
yum can only see an upgrade for one of those architectures.
If you don't want/need both architectures anymore then you
can remove the one with the missing update and everything
will work.
3. You have duplicate versions of libgcc installed already.
You can use "yum check" to get yum show these errors.
...you can also use --setopt=protected_multilib=false to remove
this checking, however this is almost never the correct thing to
do as something else is very likely to go wrong (often causing
much more problems).
Geschützte Multilib-Versionen: libgcc-4.8.2-1.fc20.x86_64 != libgcc-4.8.2-7.fc20.x86_64
So I'm stuck with a broken libgcc which I can't seem to update or reinstall. Is there any way to fix this with yum without reinstalling Fedora?
Thank you all in advance for any help!

How do I remove a specific version of a package with yum?
